So you reccomend learning flash, is there anywhere i can learn how to make them using flash, and sites e.t.c, books

[craigg.]

I suggest learning C# and DirectX

as that will be the most powerfull' when Lingo gets replaced by Flash Media Server 2.

Isnt direct X a API ?

[craigg.]

I think it is, but I think there is a way of intergrating two codes into it enabling to run a multiserver game off it. It will be complex, and easily expliotable, so hopefully they do keep Director.

[Php]

so theres no point learning lingo?

[Timewarp]

-Sigh- why start when Lingo will be thrown out of the window soon for Flash.

I was destroyed when I found out, So if you are learning, I would quit whilst you are ahead.

sweet i no loads of flash
Basically buy flash game demystified i found it a great help
but you do need quite a bit of flash knowledge though

[craigg.]

Well, If macromedia is anything like Bill Gates, I think they will go through with the change. But one thing that's been sticking inside my head is that its a coding, therefore it cannot just be deleted.

I dont know exactly what to do as Lingo may be completely out in a couple of years, and Flash may over rule it with new commands and extra parts extended to it making it more of a rich text.

I dont think it will be suddenly wiped out but i belive adobes approach is to create a 'super' product (flash) that you can use to make like anything cant wait for the nxt v of flash

There are some nice open source client/server apps out there, which are usually editable in C++ and VB. These arn't browser based tho.

That's how I may run my game. I am going to probably build it myself though, and get people to help after atleast some of it is finished.
